Ex-Expat Day 141

Sitting at a coffee shop in Copenhagen before walking into the office. It’s still very early in the morning. Only a few places are open.

Outside it’s a dark, wet, and cold Tuesday morning… but not freezing or icy… yet. Most Christmas decorations are gone. It’s so dark. Gloomy, actually. Later it will go from dark to dark grey… it’s that kind of day.

There are a few more people on their way to some place. Work, probably. Walking. Bicycling. People here ride their bikes year-round and in every type of weather. Rain, snow, ice, sleet… it doesn’t matter.

It’s the last few working days of 2025, and I still have a lot of work to do. I want to hit the ground running the 1st full week of January when everyone else is back from their winter holidays.

But first, a warm cup of coffee. I need a few minutes of peace and quiet. ☕️
